What is House Price Index?
The house price index tracks changes in residential property prices. Each jurisdiction publishes its own series — Case-Shiller and FHFA in the US, Halifax and Nationwide in the UK, ABS in Australia, Teranet in Canada — usually monthly or quarterly.
Why it matters for FX
House prices are the largest single asset on most household balance sheets, which makes them a major driver of consumer spending via wealth effects. They also feed into shelter / rent components of CPI with long lags. Rapidly falling house prices are historically associated with banking stress and currency weakness.
How to read this page
Read year-over-year change. Compare to mortgage-rate moves to gauge affordability stress. Watch the distribution of moves across cities — broad-based declines matter more than concentrated weakness.
What to watch for
- Year-over-year change vs mortgage-rate cycle
- City-level dispersion in headline indices
- Affordability metrics (price-to-income, price-to-rent)
- Pass-through to CPI shelter (12-18 month lag)
- Banking-sector exposure to mortgage book
